glorious food!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>So, if you read yesterday, and looked at the gazillion pictures, you saw a picture of one of the deliciously wonderful things we ate in Prague \u2013 the ginormous Belgian waffle with 3 kinds of chocolate sauce and whipped cream.\u00a0 Yum!\u00a0 This shop also had lots of gourmet chocolates and hard candies.\u00a0 You could watch them making the hard candy, and they had a video going of how the whole process works.\u00a0 They can start with giant hunks of stretchy hot sugary goo, and then manage to get it down to cute tiny little hard candies with pictures inside them!\u00a0 I think we stopped by this shop no fewer than 3 times.<\/p>\n<p>Wandering around the touristy places, we also had lots of street food.\u00a0 There were stands and tiny restaurants all over the place with tons of sausages.\u00a0 Being the Americans, we had our sausages on sandwiches with tasty buns, but we saw lots of people just ordering a sausage with a slice of bread.\u00a0 I had one sandwich with about 5 small sausages instead of one giant one.\u00a0 And by accident, I ordered one sandwich that turned out to be kind of a cheeseburger \u2013 a bun with a big deep fried cheese patty!!\u00a0 Yum.\u00a0 The fries were good too, but not quite as heavenly as the fried we had last year in Amsterdam \u2013 but how can you go wrong with a bucket of fries with ketchup, mayonnaise, and a tiny fork so you can eat it while you\u2019re walking around?\u00a0 (In some cases, just walking to the next fry stand\u2026)\u00a0 The mustard at these stands was delicious too\u2026 the packaging looks like it\u2019s going to be like our French\u2019s \u2013 and it says \u201cyellow mustard\u201d \u2013 Heinz, I think.\u00a0 BUT \u2013 instead of being bright yellow, it\u2019s light yellowish, and spicy, and delicious!<\/p>\n<p>We also discovered the joy that is <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trdeln%C3%ADk\" target=\"_blank\">trdelnik<\/a>.\u00a0 We found these by accident too, walking through Lesser Town.\u00a0 (And had to seek out this stand later, too!)\u00a0 We had a few different types of these \u2013 some were coated with just cinnamon and sugar (they were SO awesome), some with powdered sugar and nuts, and some with cinnamon and sugar and what I think were chopped up apples inside!\u00a0 Heavenly.\u00a0 They were like this wonderful yeasty bread dough, crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside.<\/p>\n<p>What else did we eat?\u00a0 Meat \u2013 lots and lots of meat.\u00a0 One meal was 4 different kinds of meat, 3 different kinds of dumplings, and some bread.\u00a0 (I had to get my fill of fruit at the hotel\u2019s breakfast buffet.)\u00a0 Another meal was steak wrapped in prosciutto, and pasta covered in butter and prosciutto.\u00a0 And a delicious bread basket.\u00a0 (Noticing a theme?)<\/p>\n<p>And\u2026 cr\u00eapes!\u00a0 I love love love cr\u00eapes.\u00a0 We had to stop at the same small little restaurant twice (again) because they had delicious cr\u00eapes, for meals and desserts!\u00a0 Oh, I love food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, if you read yesterday, and looked at the
